I had this problem when I got my first droid and the battery pull off sticker came off, of course I wasn't rooted then so I was able to get a replacement.. but it could be because of that, or one of your prongs could be bent.. you could try to buy another battery and see if that works also

I've seen this issue where this causes the battery to be read invalid because direct charging gives out more voltage than it can handle and messes up the battery. Best bet is get a new one.

I am curious? You seem like you know what you are saying and are very helpful. What is the Voltage you speak of? AC/DC, if I have my batt pulled, can I still have a good charge? OK, so I bet you are speaking of the pins being superseded by the port? What on the device regulates the voltage in between said hardware? Thanks a million.

If you splice the USB and go direct charge its like 20+v and the battery is used to only about15v. Don't hold me to that. I'm sure my explanation is off but that's the gist of the issue, the battery got overcharged and the phone wont read it.

I won't hold you to nothing, but something tells me the voltage reg is after said terminals, making a splice from the USB irrelevant. I am just theorizing here. most liIon battery's can't get over/under charged, so I think that may not be the issue. I have had to wipe batt stats myself to get my device back on track a couple times. Interesting.

Ya batt stats is completely different. Its the fact that if you splice the cable there's no voltage regulation and it screws with the battery /phone.

That is just it, moto ain't stupid are they? Put a voltage reg before the battery? Primary source of power? idk, I think it is just stats or something simple. If I don't spice the cable, then where is the V reg?
